Perez
Riccardo is definitely looming over Perez’s shoulder for next seasonPerez and Russell oh dear
Will he finish the season ? RB have binned drivers mid season before.Russell definitely doesn't seem to have got on as well as Hamilton since the recent Mercedes updates. Hamilton has comfortably had the better of him for the last few.
Perez will surely be replaced next year. DR3 is the obvious choice, but I wonder if they'd go left-field and try for a Norris or maybe even Albon again? Can't ever see them promoting Tsunoda.
I'm prepared to eat my hat but I'd almost guarantee it won't be Daniel.Russell definitely doesn't seem to have got on as well as Hamilton since the recent Mercedes updates. Hamilton has comfortably had the better of him for the last few.

Doing that with DR3 would give them time to the end of the season to assess his form & see if it was a blip at McLaren I guess. They could then make a decision to go with him or someone else next year. They'd have to do it soon though.Will he finish the season ? RB have binned drivers mid season before.
And to be honest Max made it look easy.The difference in car body language on those laps, you could tell LeClerc was wringing its neck for that lap.
Yeah, right on the edge, especially the last couple of corners.The difference in car body language on those laps, you could tell LeClerc was wringing its neck for that lap.
Austria has had some pretty decent races over the last few years. Usually quite an enjoyable race I find. Could get some drama with the sprint weekend format too.From memory Austria is a very boring track. The main action we’ll get is watching whether cars on black and white flags can keep it within track limits.
Oh fair enough. I don’t remember specifics, just thought it was one giant DRS train without much overtaking.Austria has had some pretty decent races over the last few years. Usually quite an enjoyable race I find. Could get some drama with the sprint weekend format too.
Defo do a better job anywayRiccardo is definitely looming over Perez’s shoulder for next season
So did Perez.Damn totally forgot about qualifying.
YikesSo did Perez.
Maybe but you have Norris v piastri, and as much potential as piastri has, Norris is definitely one of the fastest drivers on the grid. Albion v sergeant is very one sided due to experience and ability, and even tsunoda is a much better driver than de Vries. Then you have Perez absolutely melting under the pressure of competing versus max and totally underperforming. That's four teams right there with fairly obvious explanations.The gaps between no.1s and 2s has been much more significant recently.
I wonder if That’s a coincidence, or to do with the cost cap and upgrades.
I’m not a RB fan and I don’t want McLaren to lose Norris, but it would make F1 much more interesting.Hope lando can convert a good qualifying to some good points for once.
Perez implosion continues.
Lando to Red Bull within 18 months.
It was too soon for Gasley and Albon when they got there shot they weren’t ready at that stage, DR3 wanted to be in a car that could fight the mercs and left just as RB were close to turning that corner.Honestly if RB came knocking for Checho's seat to be filled as a F1 driver I would think twice. Competing or even be a sort of wingman to Max proved too difficult for many racers already. Gasley, Albon, even Ricciardo and now Perez?
This is what is expected though when you put average drivers or inexperienced talented drivers next to Max, and then gear your team 95% to Max. It’ll always remain like this unless you genuinely have two top talent racers who command equal support from the RB team. 1) those drivers are extremely rare given Max’s calibre and 2) why would they seek such a driver when ultimately a good driver who can consistently finish near the top without rocking the Max wagon is all they need?Honestly if RB came knocking for Checho's seat to be filled as a F1 driver I would think twice.

Agree, do RB want a driver equal footing in the team like Hamilton and Rosberg had? Or do they want a no2 to support max?This is what is expected though when you put average drivers or inexperienced talented drivers next to Max, and then gear your team 95% to Max.

Red Bull will move on from Perez if he continues like this, but IMO there’s little chance they’d go for someone like Norris.
Harsh on @KirkDuytPerez is garbage. Max fans are insufferable, even though I got fond of him, I feel like entire Holland came to Austria. They are very fat, and very drunk/drugged.
I've been called worse.Harsh on @KirkDuyt
